Say RockDock... this is what I see...

This is what comes to mind at the mention of RockDocking.

http://www.adventuretrailers.com/images/1_trailer2.jpg

Feel free to photoshop your favorite Airstream into this pic.

My thoughts about qualifying.

1. If you are not sure you can get there
2. if you need a front/rear departure angle of 22 degrees or more
3. if all the wheels-tires-trackwidth match
4. if your hitch can sustain repeated 40 degree rolls of trailer
5. if you have to cross moving water greater than 3" deep
6. if a winch is not an optional thing

Then you might be a RockDocker.

Your mileage may vary.

Thumbs up Rockdocker Advantages

Druupy. That is Rockdocking, for sure.

Did you already pull the AirStream in, or was this after the AS was pulled in and you needed to haul in extra supplies afterwards??? I did not see any aluminum on the rock, so you must have had better tires and wheels than I am using at the present time.

I think this would be a more suitable rough-terrain vehicle for rockdocking:

Reminds me of the Rubicon Trail. Drove ( drove? more like crawled) that many times.
